I opened my eyes to a room glowing with little light coming from a lamp located at the right side of the bed.
I rolled my eyes in confusion wondering where I was, my head still ached alot.I could feel a slight weakness in my body as I placed my hand over my forehead.The door opened and a lady walked in, I could barely see her face nor what she was wearing since the room was dark."Switch the lights on please" I said feeling irritated by the darkness of the room.The lights came on.I sat up gasping, I was back to Mr.Chancy's house, in the same room Stella had claimed was her mother's.I rubbed my hands over my eyes, I could hear my stomach grumbling, I was so hungry."Are you feeling better ma'am?" The lady asked me.I looked up at her face, she was the same lady I saw in my dream the other day who had come to call me for dinner.I nodded looking away, frightened by the thought of that horrible dream."What happened to me?" IMr.Chancy placed his warm hands on my shoulder.I would feel it because I was wearing a sleeveless top.I stared at his face, he seemed to be aging more with each day that swept by.I sighed looking away, I couldn't stare at his face for long"I am really very sorry about my daughter's attitude" he said in a calm tone.I shook his hands off my shoulder and walked over to the bed and sat down.Mr.Chancy sighed walking closer to me "I'm truly sorry Selena."I chortled "you know, your daughter makes it look like I made more than just a mistake by saying yes to this marriage.""This was the best decision ever Selena, don't listen to Stella" he said."But she is right after all, you're too old for me and I'm too young for you" I said.He laughed softly "is that what she said to you?""It's the obvious Mr.Chancy" I said staring him right in the face for a while.He was beginning to sound like it was normal and okay for men to mar
Stella drove into a compound with her Lamborghini and parked it at the garage.Her face was frowned and she looked very upset.The thought of Selena and her father was really waiting her deeply and she could barely control how she was feeling about it.So she decided to pay her boyfriend a visit, she believed that spending time with him might help ease up her stress.She was dressed in a blue crop top and black trouser, she looked pretty hot.Stella pressed the door bell and waited impatiently for the door to be opened."Hello babe" a young man said opening the door, he had a proud look on his face.She scoffed "it took you so long to open the door."He smiled "I'm sorry, I was having a shower."She looked down at him and noticed he had a towel tied around his waist."Great!" She mumbled pushing him aside as she walked into the apartment.He closed the door and followed her behind."You didn't tell me you were coming Stella
Stella drove back home.She parked her car and alighted from it looking extremely exhausted.Selena watched her from her window, Stella looked up and saw her.She hissed."Gold digger " Stella mumbled.She walked into the mansion and met her father sitting in the living room with his lawyer."Hello Mr Gabriel" she greeted looking excited to see the middle aged lawyer who her father was few years older than.He smiled on seeing her "Stella, it has being a while since I last saw you, how are you doing?"She chortled "you barely ask of me, isn't it?"Mr Gabriel took a quick glance at Mr Chancy looking surprised.Mr Chancy laughed "he really do ask of you Stella, just that it skips my mind most times to tell you."Stella gasped "you never told me father, it skips your mind all the time not most times."Mr Gabriel shurrged "I'm glad that I have been vindicated."Stella nodded with a smile on her lips "now I'm convinced that
I walked into my room with my bleeding arm.I winced at the pain I felt sitting coldly on my bed.I shut my eyes wishing I didn't have to go down there to face Stella, it was a mistake after all.But I couldn't sit up here and pretend like everything was cool while Stella comfortably disrespects a woman down there simply because the woman works in her father's house, who does she think she is?I stood up walking into the bathroom to wash the blood off and maybe treat the injury if I can though I doubt of I could since it was hurting me so much.Stella have real long nails and they were painted red."That girl must be a witch" I thought taking a closer look at my arm while I washed it.I was still in the bathroom when I heard my door open."Selena...Selena..." he called out.I took a deep breath, it was Mr Chancy.I wasn't surprised that he came up to my room, after all his daughter told him I slapped her without telling him the reaso
Stella knocked softly on the door adjusting her clothes trying to make them look as skimpy as possible.She had lavished her body spray all over her body and it's smell was thick in the air.She sniffed continually "I smell so good.""Come right in" she heard him say.Stella walked into the office, she shut the door behind smiling at him.She had gone to see Mr Gabriel the family lawyer and friend just like he had asked her to earlier."Stella my love, I have been expecting you, what took you so long to get here?" He asked standing to his feet with his hands spread apart.She sighed "you wouldn't believe it if I told you."Mr Gabriel walked close to her, he leaned forward wrapping his hand around her waist.Stella stared into his eyes without saying any word.She has this smirk at the end of her lips.He drew her closer to himself, feeding his eyes with her seductive body, her fair laps were clearly visible.He slowly place
Stella's POVI walked over to my car, I opened the door and entered into it resting my head on the steering.I wanted to cry my heart out and scream to the heavens pouring out how heart broken I was.I was totally shut of words crippled by the thoughts of what Mr Gabriel had said.I felt like every bit of me was being drained slowly by the thought of what he said, it kept ringing in my head.I was gradually tearing into pieces, how am I supposed to take it all down that my own father have willed everything he owns to Selena leaving me with nothing?It sounded unbelievable but it was real, I have lost everything to Selena, this has been my biggest fear but my father is not yet married to her yet it has happened.I raised my head from the steering hitting it hard over and over again.I couldn't understand why my father made it sound like it was my fault that I had bipolar disorder.I was born this way, it was never my fault that I had this
Stella's POVI found my way to my favourite restaurant, it was an exotic one meant for the high and mighty.It was called first class restaurant.The restaurant wasn't so far from Mr Gabriel's office, it was actually few poles away and you could walk down there if you wanted to but I dared not do that, the daughter of Mr Larry Chancy can not be seen trekking under the hot scorching sun in this city, it was totally absurd.When I was younger, my mother would drive me around town and spoil me with lots of gifts, that was the least I could remember about her.She was not always there for me, especially when the kids bully me at school and I come home hoping to talk to her about it.Most times I spent the weekends alone without my father or mother, I had to learn to endure the bullies especially when the students called me crazy.It was really heart breaking, most times I couldn't stand it, I would cry and yell at them, I was too weak to do anything be
Selena's POVTwo months later....I crept out of Mr Chancy's house when no one was watching, it hasn't been so easy leaving that house without having those body guards follow you around with cars.I hated the attention they drew to me and everyone kept pointing me out as Mr Chancy's wife.Most of them called me names and accused me of being a gold digger, well... who would understand me no matter how much I explain how I ended up in all these?I decided to pay deaf hears to their insults and mockery, shut my eyes and do what I promised to do.I took a cab down to my house, I unlocked the door and found everywhere looking very dusty.I ended up coughing loudly "this place is a total mess."I cleaned the whole place up dusty the little furniture sweeping the dust out, removing the cobwebs and moping the floor."This still remains my home no matter what" I thought.An hour later....I was done cleaning everywhere, the whole place w
After a few days the prince noticed Selena's absence in the palace but when he asked, his mother told him how she stole some gold and ran away but she have sent guards to look for her.This amazed the prince but he didn't seem to care about it.It was the tradition of their kingdom to spend a night with the bride on the night before the wedding day as the prince sat in his chambers with the princess who was dressed in a beautiful out fit.The prince smiled at her beauty and couldn't wait to have her.He watched the princess strip naked in front of him but his face broke into a sad expression when he noticed something weird on her body.The princess looked up at his face and noticed he wasn't pleased with her body."What is it my prince? Why do you look so sad?" She asked looking a little frightened.The prince shook his head and rubbed his hand on his eyes then he started pointing at her stomach."Where is it?" He asked.The princess took
The next day came...Louis grew even more nervous when Stella announced that Selena's personal assistant called and she would be having dinner in their house.Mr Chancy have been making an underground investigation about Selena which no one seems to be giving him the exact answers he wants.He grew very upset when he found out that the government have taken possession of Selena's house and demolished the house in it but their was nothing he could do or say about it since he was not legally married to Selena before she disappeared.He rubbed his hands in anxiety while sitting in the living room later that evening, for a moment he believed Stella was wise in trying to bring Selena closer to the family, he imagined the fact that he might be able to convince her to marry him which also gives him legal rights over her wealth.Mr Chancy was a greedy business man who always wants more but he would always say that if you want to be successful in business, you should
Mr Chancy was sitting in the living room having a cup of coffee when the news came up and he was shocked to see Selena on the television, he couldn't believe his eyes.Stella and Louis walked into the living room, they were all smiles as they had just returned from a dinner date, though their relationship was extremely toxic but they tried to pretend outside especially in front of the media."What am I seeing?" Mr Chancy yelled standing to his feet.Stella and Louis walked into in the living room in a hurry looking amazed to here him scream that way."What is it dad?" Stella asked without looking at the television.He pointed to the television looking away.Louis and Stella fixed their stare on the television and gasped."Selena... that's impossible" Stella mumbled in fear.She turned to her father "dad I don't think that's Selena, it can't be her."Her father gasped looking up at her "what do you mean? It's the same face and name."
Selena's POVMy heart is broken, completely shattered.I felt so weak as I wept deeply while doing the prince's laundry.I was done with the laundry and moved straight to my room.Nina was there sitting on a chair when I walked in.She saw the way I looked and stood up in amazement."What happened Selena?" She asked.I could see the terrified look in her eyes, my hair looked a little messed up.I didn't say a word to her I turned away to head to my bed when she stopped me."You're bleeding Selena" she said watching me.Of course I could barely walk well and she knew something have happened to me."Who did this to you Selena?" She cried out, tears soaked her face.I fell into her arms crying like a child."The prince raped me, he raped me" I said repeatedly.Nina was shocked but she held me tight rubbing my back trying to console me in between her own tears.It have been three months since I was raped like the
Yvonne's POVI became even more miserable seeing the prince grow more in love with Princess Avril with so much believe that she sacrificed her kidney for him.The way the princess took credit for my kindness was more irritating and she treated me with so much disdain.It was more like the hatred the princess had for me tripped after I donated my kidney to the princess.The queen did not even treat me any better, she would always remind me that it must remain a secret and if I should ever mention such to the prince, I would be beheaded.I know I have contemplated suicide most times, I know I hated my life but I believe it would be more honorable to end my life myself instead of having my head chopped off on a platter of gold, I decided to keep my mouth shut.The prince's hatred for me doubled and I became his worse enemy.The energy he invests in his anger if he sees me was enough to light a dead bulb, I wondered what the queen and the princess told
The princess arrived the queen's chambers as soon as she was called.Her maidens and bodyguards waited outside the chamber while she walked in to honor the queen's call.She bowed in front of the queen who pointed out to a seat and asked her to sit down.The princess obeyed and sat down quietly.The queen cleared her throat "you must have heard that the prince, my son was taken to the hospital today" she began.Princess Avril nodded "I asked to come to the hospital to pay my prince visit but I was told that you asked that I remain in the palace."The queen nodded.She didn't think it was right for every member of the royal family to abandon the palace and head to the hospital as a coup could easily be planned in their absence."I had my reasons princess Avril" she said.The princess nodded "I understand.""Princess Avril, the prince, your would be husband and future king is critically ill and would need a huge favour from you to surv
Selena's POVIt has been two years since I found myself in this mysterious island and palace, it has been two years since my kidnap got plotted by someone whom I grew so much trust in.It has been two years since I was sold to the queen of this kingdom whom valued gold more than human life, two years of being punished unjustly, two years of being treated like trash by the royal family.At first I thought the prince whom I have grown so much feelings for would be better off in character than his mother and his so called betrothed, but I was wrong after all, they were all the same, treating the servants like nothing cause they believed that they were far more better than us.Though the place was so local, I heard that they had a hospital located in the kingdom, most times I couldn't help but wonder how the hospital would look like, perhaps everything there might also be made of hold.At the early hours of every new month, the villagers brought offerings to the
Louis rolled his eyes in disgust "Oh please Maryann, don't be such a cry baby and get yourself out of here."Maryann's eyes rolled.A car horn started blaring outside.The big gate was control with a remote control so it was so easy to get it open.Thelma pressed on a button in the remote control and the gate opened.It was Stella.She drove in.Thelma pressed on a red button on the remote control and the gate closed at once.She had a warm smile on her face as she watched Stella alight from the car.Thelma giggled."Isn't my daughter in-law the most beautiful woman ever" she arched her brow.Stella walked up to her and hugged her "of course she is."Stella turned around and noticed Maryann standing there."And what is this thing doing here?" Stella asked glaring at Maryann.Louis shurgged "you mean this beggar? she has come to do what she knows how to do best... beg!"Stella giggled walking closer to Maryann
Louis was in shock, he didn't expect Maryann to attack him like that.At once he reached down to her hand which was already making a mess out of his neat shirt.He forced her hand out of his shirt and few buttons followed falling on the floor.Louis gasped on seeing this, it got him even more provoked.Thelma watched with her hands folded, she didnt say another word.Louis pushed Maryann who fell to the ground in tears.She had hurt her knee and they were bruised and bleeding badly.Louis didn't care about that, he was so angry that he wanted to insult Maryann.Maryann overlooked the bruise on her knee though she was staggering so much to stand.Her tears were still lingering out of her eyes, flowing down to her neck."I loved you Louis, why do you have to do this to me? Why do you have to choose that witch over me?" She yelled."Call her a witch one more time and I will cut your tounge out!" Louis threatened."You would do
